Published column no longer publishes to Point of Sale

Importing a file with a Published column and no Published Scope column used to publish products and collections to Point of Sale (and any other channel) as well as the Online Store. Now the Published column only changes the Online Store, and Point of Sale is left exactly as it is unless the file includes a Published Scope value. This keeps the two columns compatible with files written for other import tools, so those files behave the same way in Altera.

Fixes

#

• Published targets the Online Store - Published set to TRUE or FALSE with no Published Scope column publishes or unpublishes on the Online Store only and leaves Point of Sale unchanged (Published Scope reference).
• New collections respect FALSE - a new collection with Published set to FALSE is no longer published to Point of Sale.
• Export shows the real scope - product exports on stores without Point of Sale now show web in the Published Scope column instead of global.

Heads-up

#

• Set Published Scope to change Point of Sale - use global to publish to Point of Sale and web to remove from it. Files that already include a Published Scope value behave as before.
• Existing products - on an existing product, Published and Published Scope are applied only when the Published value changes the product’s Online Store status. Use Published: Point of Sale to change Point of Sale on its own.
• Per-channel columns still win - Published: Point of Sale and other Published: [Sales Channel] columns continue to override Published and Published Scope.
